Total Drama Charge Episode 14
The episode opened on Red, sunglasses on. ``In the last episode of Total Drama... Our contestants got to see a little bit of Africa's beautiful wilderness in Madagascar... Well, not all of them, as someone got her bra cut off by someone else, hehe! Gwen came to say hi and the challenge started. Our contestants had to chase down a lemur and cover it down in paint. Tim got pretty injured and got carried around by his fellow team members during the challenge. In the end, Trent won for the Giant Bonsais and the Zombies would have sent someone home if it hadn't be a surprise non-elimination! Today, eleven contestants remain after half of the season has already gone by, but soon, another loser will emerge. Who will it be? Where are we going today? Find out right here, right now, on Total! Drama! Charge!''
(The theme song plays)
Tim walked his way to first class, searching for Trent. The team members were enjoying their time in basic luxury. They glanced at the Japan Geek as he waved to the Guitar Guy, telling him to come with him. Trent saw the sign and followed his past teammate.
``-What's up, dude? Anything I can do for you? The green-eyed dude asked.
-Actually, yes. I know it's weird, but I really need the hair of a girl on your team, Tim declared.
-Um... Okay? Why though?
-No time to explain, I just really need it.
-Wait up, I'll see what I can do.'' Trent told him before presumably setting off to accomplish his mission. He then came back, hair in hand.
``-Whoa, thanks dude! Tim exclaimed, really meaning his words.
-No probs, Trent told him, smiling.''
Confessionals
Tim, showing the hair to the camera: You are all probably wondering why I needed a girl's hair so bad. I'll answer your questions. I want to make Samey believe Rodney kissed another girl, and see how it all goes down. I'm hoping to make them pay for voting for me to go last time, because I actually gave myself during the challenge, and I gotta divide tem if I want a shot at the million.
Trent: It was a weird request he had, but hey... Who am I to question a dude's behavior like that? Tim is a nice guy, and I can do all sorts of stuff for my friends.
End of confessionals
``Attention to all the remaining contestants! I have a very important message for you all. We are now landing in the capital of the United States and well known city: Washington D.C. Now you guys are probably thinking: ``we're going to the White House'' while you girls are probably thinking: ``we're going to buy some shoes'', but I have to negate both suggestions as today, we will be visiting the National Gallery of Art! That's right, the challenge will have something to do with unleashing your creativity and painting! Now settle down and stay calm before we land.''
The contestants did as instructed, only whispering or chatting with their friends.
``Huh? Really? I thought teens these days always tried to be rebels and shove some attitude down your throat, but hey, you guys are exceptions!'' Red told the contestants through the loudspeakers.
The plane landed at the Reagan national airport. The teams went out one after the other and awaited Red's instructions. The host arrived, followed closely by Angelica, a full bag in hands. She took out cookies form the bag and distributed one of them to each of the competitors. Some looked glad, some ate it in a gulp while some frowned, not knowing what they should do with them.
``-Here's your breakfast, you loud gum-chewers! Hope you weren't too hungry, because that's all you'll be getting as food this morning. You won't have lunch and only the challenge winners will have the luck to taste warm delicacies, the lunch lady told the contestants.
-How amazing! You're telling us this cookie contains all food groups? Noah asked, sarcastic.
-Actually, I'm telling you especially that your body might not contain the pain it will receive from all kinds of hits I will give you if you make another comment like that one.
-Geez, someone didn't have their coffee, Noah whispered to Trent, earning a snicker.
-Anyways, now is already the time to grab taxis and head to the museum. First team to get there gets an advantage. Now go! Red ordered the contestants, getting himself obeyed.'' The players ran inside the airport, hoping to get into a taxi as soon as possible. ``Say what you will about teens these days, but they definitely know how to follow orders!'' the host opinioned, smiling to the camera.
Inside the airport, the Swagger Zombies were trying to gracefully go the fastest they could and follow a path in an airport that was even more crowded than your typical one. Tim got closer to Rodney and deposed the hair on his shoulder, smirking. He then went to run ahead of his teammates. Samey wanted to stop for a moment, so Rodney let her and stayed with her, calling for Tim but getting no answer.
``-Oh well, I guess he'll get us a taxi, Rodney said.
-Yeah... Wait, you have something on your shoulder, Samey told him, taking the hair in her hand. Do you know whose hair this is? It's dark. Must be one of the Bonsais or Sky. Jasmine's hair is too short, Eva's too. And it feels poofy... Did you see Anne Maria again? Samey asked her crush.
-What? Of course not! The hair must have gotten there somehow, but not like that, Rodney answered.
-Somehow... I'm not sure I believe you, she said. I really hope you're not lying to me, Rod.
-But we're not even together yet, are we? He asked.''
She looked at him with an angry expression in her eyes. ``It's alright, she lied.''
Confessionals
Samey, sad: I really thought we had something going there. But I know he's lying, what am I gonna do? (She stops, watery-eyed.) I've never felt something this big for someone before. What is love, anyways?
Rodney: I don't understand her. Just because I had a hair on my shoulder doesn't mean I made out with Anne Maria! She can't prove it, and won't, because it honestly didn't happen. The only lips I want are Samey's.
End of confessionals
Rodney and Samey were next shown entering the taxi. They forced Tim to sit between them on the rear seats. The lovers did not say any words during the whole ride, which didn't make it particularly enjoyable.
Meanwhile, the Flying Rocks' girls were waiting for Beardo to exit the Airport's bathroom. He came out after a few minutes, alongside a well-known host... The host with a most, Chris McLean to be precise.
``-Hey! How are you guys going? Chris asked, enthusiastic.
-Um... Good! But we're kinda trying to win an advantage for the next challenge, Sky told him. Besides, what are you doing here?
-Me? Oh, just spending time with Chef, he answered.
-Do you mean...? Dawn started to interrogate the host, aware he knew what she meant.
-What? No way, I only like him as a friend! I'm serious, alright?
-Sure, Beardo said, earning chuckles from his teammates.
-Well, I do hope Red did not play soft on you. Total Drama needs to stay as it is. A challenge should not be comfortable or easy, you know?
-That doesn't mean we would like to jump into shark-infested waters, but yeah, Sky told him. Anyways, gotta go!'' The team ran off, leaving Chris to find his way back to his hero in an apron armor.
The team entered a taxi and demanded the driver to take them to the museum. A map showed the teams' current positions shortly after, indicating the Bonsais were in the lead.
The Bonsais' taxi arrived at the museum first. The five members of the team ran to the museum's entrance, where they got greeted by Red. It was shown Anne Maria was still in a shock like mental state, being carried by Eva. The other teams came in shortly after.
``-Well, now that everyone is here, let me introduce you to the Washington national gallery of art! You are now standing in one of the most visited art galleries of the world. It opened in 1941, but was conceived a few years before by Andrew W. Mellon and John Russell Pope. It is divided into two buildings and many sections. Also, let me present to you the challenge of the day as well as your judge, Mr. Garfield Carter!''
A small and round man with blonde hair, blonde goatee and black glasses came in. He was wearing a black and white striped shirt, blue jeans and a turquoise vest over the shirt. He shook Red's hand and saluted the contestants, looking at them directly with his light green eyes.
``-Hello everybody, I am Mr. Garfield Carter, and...
-I already said that, dude! Red told him.
-Oh... Well, you are now standing in the Washington national gallery of art, which was first presented to the public in 1941.
-Already told them that.
-Did you also tell them the challenge's rules or can I do it on my own? Garfield asked, exasperated.
-Oh, you fuzzy color spectrum! You are acquired to accomplish that job alright, Red declared.'' Garfield walked to the contestants and took out a paint bucket from his pants, which he used to sit on, much to the contestants' disgust.
``As a professional painter for more than 20 years, I have to say that my debuts were kind of rough. I had to go through various challenges and experiences in order to practice my dream job. Today, you will be working with your team to create a painting. The people that have arrived here first will gain an advantage: they will be free to use various painting items to make their chef d'oeuvre, while the others will have to use their hands and feet. You have to let everyone in your team do a part of the job. Oh and also, to put in a bit more difficulty, we've set off a group of wild American Eagles inside the museum. Let's just hope they don't pick on you just because you guys are Canadians, eh? HAHA!'' He laughed with power.
``Now, if everything is clear, I will let the teams start working. The paint buckets and canvas that are to be used for the challenge are situated on the left side of the entrance, Garfield told the contestants. Bonsais, pick up everything you want.''
The contestants did as they were ordered. At this moment, every contestant was working to assure a colorful victory to their team, including Noah, who had been tasked with transporting paint. Just as he was carrying three buckets, an eagle flew over him and went down, taking the top bucket away with his beak. The scrawny Boa guy looked at the bird with a look of surprise on his face.
Confessionals
Noah: Well, that was as unexpected as unexpectedness can be! Now, how the hell do I explain that to the team?!
End of confessionals
He went to Jasmine, the closest team member in number of steps.
``-Hey there, you know if we need turquoise for our painting? He asked her.
-I think so. Why? She asked him in return.
-The bucket of it we had got stolen.
-Stolen?
-Yeah... Funny thing is, it wasn't even by a human. Please go see if they want me to go search for it and get it back, he demanded.''
Jasmine came back, showing two thumbs up. Next shot we got was of Noah climbing the museum's stairs to get to the second floor. There, bucket-beaked, rested the eagle, ready to fly out of the museum by an open window.
``Oh crap...'' Noah murmured as the bird turned around to face him, screeching and flying at him, aiming the eyes.
Meanwhile, the Swagger Zombies were having a hard time with the challenge, as Rodney and Samey were still mad at each other, and didn't want to talk.
Confessionals
Tim: I'm not sure what to do now... If we lose, they'll probably vote for the other one, but they could also get friendly again. I think I'll have to let them do the work while finding ways to keep them away from each other. (He crosses his fingers evilly)
End of confessionals
``-Ouch... hey guys, I think I'm still hurt form the previous challenge. The pain just came back. I'm so sorry... Tim told his teammates as he walked slowly to them.
-I don't think you really mean what you just said. Plus, your legs seem to be more damaged than the hurt parts of Yesterday's challenge, Samey remarked.
-You're right, but you know that pain can move to one part of the body to another with time? Normally, your brain allows your body to feel pain in only one place at a time, Tim told her. My right leg is the only pain in the butt I got right now. I'll paint later.''
Samey glanced at Rodney. He gave her the same look. They both sighed and let out their ideas, agreeing on some points and slowly getting to the painting they would do.
At the same moment, the Flying Rocks had already started working on their painting. Beardo was lightly stomping yellow on the canvas with his feet. Dawn was applying green to a portion of it with her hands, and Sky was using her fingers to draw blue lines over them, showing they opted for a colorful and abstract piece of art.
Unexpectedly, the song bell's chime came piercing through the contestants' ears.
(The music is rhythmic but not too-fast. It is a bit high pitched. Sing it the way you want. Note that there isn't any official name for it, as well as the rest of the songs.)
Dawn: Around us is a world of colours!
All girls except Anne Maria: Colours! Colours! Colours! Colours!
Samey: We can feel them blend into the light!
All boys except Noah: The light! The light! The light! The light!
Trent: Gotta say that the Earth is beautiful...
Beardo: Even though we might be making it fall.
Eva: But we don't have to mind because...
Dawn: Around us is a world of colours!
All girls except Anne Maria: Colours! Colours! Colours! Colours!
Samey: We can feel them blend into the sky!
Tim: And if we ever feel like falling,
We'll just have to accept life's wedding ring.
Dawn: It's true, the water is blue. The trees are green and love is red as a rose.
This might be because...
All girls except Anne Maria: Around us is a world of colours!
All boys except Noah: We just gotta see the light! YEAH!
Red came to the contestants, wiping a tear. ``Honestly, this was a majestic performance. It should be on a disk one day. A world of colours by the TD Crew.'' He said as he put distance between his arms, moving them in the shape of a rainbow. ``Anyways, work is work, and now you gotta go back to work so you can work. Challenge time, part two!'' Red exclaimed as the contestants began scrambling back to their team's spot. ``Right after the break!'' Red told the public, smiling.
(Commercial break)
The contestants were shown working on their paintings again. The Giant Bonsais had come up with something impressive, that is, if you forget the fact that they weren't only using their hands and feet to complete their art piece, unlike the other teams.
They still had a problem. Or maybe two. One: Noah was nowhere to be found. And two: Anne Maria was still in her shock-state, not being able to do a lot. And did I forget to mention the fact that literally almost all of the eagles of the museum were shrieking and flying next to them? In fact, even though they had an advantage, their lack of luck made them progress a lot slower than they could've or should've had.
``You only got 30 minutes left till the end of the challenge, Red announced. And from what I can see, most of you are participating well and doing great!'' The contestants started rushing a bit after hearing these words.
At the same moment, our favorite know-it all was running away from the angry paint eagle, still holding the paint bucket around its beak.
``Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh... Noah exclaimed as he ran and then fell down some stairs, not noticing them. He hit one march after the other, getting his jaw partially broken. Then, to top it off, the eagle somehow released the bucket and it fell on Noah's head. He let out a groan before setting out to re-join his team.
When he arrived, his teammates looked at his many bruises, wondering what had happened.
``-Are you okay, mate? Jasmine asked, coming to check on him.
- Hook hi dook okay hoo hoo? He asked, trying to speak normally. I tell down the hairs and hot my head hit dy an eadle!
-Um... You can go sit there if you want... I think we'll bring Red for this!'' She told him before running to find the host.
The Bonsais watched over their teammate as he showed a dropping jaw and confused eyes. He seemed to have gotten himself lost in his thoughts. Red arrived, examining Noah's injury, and approached his hand over to Noah's face.
``-Does it hurt when I do this? Red asked the brainiac, lightly touching his face and earning a pain-feeling sound.
-Yeah... Hit toes, Noah answered.
-Well, I guess you won't be able to participate in the rest of the challenge, then. You can go sit with Anne Maria, Red told him. But before that, I gotta try something.''
Red positioned himself, pressing Noah's jaw with his fingertips. A small crack could be heard, and Noah ``yiked'' in pain as Red apparently put the jaw into place.
Confessionals
Red: Boy, must that've been painful! At least now the guy will be able to talk normally again, huh?
Noah, a bit angry: Stupid eagle!
End of confessionals
Later on, the Flying Rocks were shown to have caught an eagle, somehow managing to have made it mark their painting with its claws. Red announced the challenge was over shortly after, then Garfield (No, not the cat) went to observe and rank the teams' art pieces. He stood in front of the Zombies' creation and observed it, analyzing each detail. He proceeded to give a judgement after a while.
``-This piece is truly inspiring. It is colorful, vivid, light... You have some shadows over there, and I feel like you did a good job with it. However, I personally think it would have been a bit better if it looked more realistic, but overall, this is better than okay for me, he commented.
-Well, we just did what we thought of... Used our imagination and... Voila! Samey told Garfield.
-Um, actually, Rodney corrected, I did most of the job. You just put maybe one or two blue spots in the left corner, and that's about it.
-Really? What about what Tim did? Nothing? I think that's what you call it.
-Just leave him alone, okay? Rodney demanded.'' Samey sighed and looked elsewhere, while Garfield started judging the Bonsais' piece.
`` feel like there is effort into this one. Like the one before, it is imaginative, but... there's something missing. I feel like there isn't really anything behind your work, and there is too much turquoise.'' Noah glared at Jasmine when the Judge said these words. ``I don't personally like it that much.''
He then moved over to the Rocks' painting. It represented a human about to get eaten by a giant, tooth-packed pear. Garfield's mouth salivated a little, weirdly.
``Now THIS is art. It is kind of messed up, but representative of some things in life and there is a color balance, as well as a tone balance. I would hang this up anywhere in my room without any problems.''
Garfield smiled at the team, then wrote notes on the arts to give them ratings. He gave the papers to Red.
``-With the highest score of 9 out of 10, the Flying Rocks the first winners of the challenge. They will get to eat at the best steakhouse in town, sleep in first class and choose someone from the losing team to come with them. Also safe from elimination is the Zombies, with a score of 7 out of 10. You'll get to sleep in ``medium'' class, eat normal food and that's about it. And finally, I will see you plants at the elimination ceremony tonight.'' Red announced. Some cheered, others cried.
Later on, Noah was talking with Trent and Eva.
``- Now that you have decided to be a member of our alliance, Eva, (Not shown on camera), we will talk about tonight's plan. Our goal is to take out the others. That means: first we take out Hairspray, then we take out the Giant' he told her.
-And we might need to split the votes just in case Anne Maria somehow manages to use her idol. That means we'll have to convince Anne Maria to vote against Jasmine: that'll be easy, and you'll vote her out too, while me and Noah vote against Anne Maria. After Anne's out of the game, we'll take down Jasmine. Any objections? Trent asked Eva.
-Nope.
-Well then, let me convince her to join us for tonight, Trent said. I can use my charisma when necessary.''
(Elimination Ceremony)
Anne Maria arrived, transported by Jasmine. The boys and Eva were already sitting on the bleachers as their teammates joined them.
``-Well, Giant Bonsais, it's been a while, hasn't it? Already halfway into the season and you guys are still 5. Well, not all of you are original members, but anyways... Anyone cares to tell me why they think you all lost today? The host asked.
-Well, Trent said, I think that we lost time because of Noah's slowness in bringing us the paint, but it wasn't his fault. Other than that, I guess that we lacked teamwork.
-Yeah, I agree with Trent, Eva said. If it would've been a physical challenge, I'd have brought victory on a golden plate to my team, the athlete wanted to point out.
-Maybe. Alright, it's time to vote. Anne Maria is first up! Does she know who to vote? The host asked, caring about the contestant's state. She simply pointed Noah with one finger, not talking.
-Okay, that's a clear one... The rest of you will vote in the confessional.''
Voting confessionals
Trent, writing Anne Maria's name: Just sticking to the plan.
Anne Maria: I faked part of this. Sure, I still get images of the moment, but that ain't mean I can't talk!
Jasmine: I was hesitating between brain good and body good, but Noah probably won't be able to win challenges after the merge. So, bye Eva.
End of voting confessionals
``-Alright. I know someone here has an immunity idol. Now is the time to play it if needed to survive, Red said.
-I'll use it, Anne Maria said at an incredibly slow rate.''
Noah and Trent fist-bumped each other. Anne Maria went to give the idol to Red, Jasmine helping her on the way.
``-This is an immunity idol. All votes cast against Anne Maria will not count. I'll tally the votes.'' Red went to do as he said, then came back.
``So, the tenth person voted out of Total Drama Charge is... Or would have been Anne Maria, with two votes against her!'' Noah and Trent exchanged worried looks, wondering what had happened.
Precisely, Noah and Trent voted against Anne Maria;
Eva voted against Jasmine;
Anne Maria voted against Noah;
Jasmine voted against Eva, meaning a three way tiebreaker was necessary.
``-Now, Trent is safe, but Jasmine, Eva and Noah will all have to duke it all for their survival in the game. The tiebreaker is simple: I will ask you 5 questions. The person that answers the least correctly will be out of the game.
-Um, excuse me, genius, but what if there was a tie for smallest amount of correct answers between two questions?
-Well, I... Guess we would have to proceed to a revote.
-What if there was a tie there? Noah asked, smirking.
-What if you'd let me ask the darn questions? Red asked, annoyed. Anyways, question one: Who made a triumphant debut on TDA'S ``Ocean's eight-or nine''?
-Easy, Noah said, raising his hand. Courtney.
-Correct! What were the names of the three teams of TDWT?
-Amazon, Chris and Victory, Eva responded.
-Correct! How many contestants were left at the start of the tenth episode of TDPI? The host asked.
-Six! Said Jasmine.
-Correct! Name the only original contestant that made it into the final four twice without having to return.
-OWEN! Eva exclaimed.
-Unfortunately, no. Anyone else?
-Duncan, Jasmine answered.
-Correct! Final question: What was the name of Chris's pet mutant carnivorous plant ...thing?
-It's Larry, Noah pronounced.
-Correct! Now, with only one right answer, tonight's loser is... Eva. Grab your stuff and prepare to leave the Jumbo Jet, the host ordered.''
She grumbled, leaving with her fists clenched. When she came back, she gave Noah a small kiss on the cheek and shook Trent's hand. She showed Anne Maria the middle finger and left. This is what concluded this episode, but you'll see why.
